16. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Anyone remember the brief Zelda demo from Spaceworld 2000 that was used to advertise the potential of the GC? This is the game that Nintendo should have made after showing that footage. That's nothing against Wind Waker, which is a great game in its own right (although it doesn't make my top 50), but when an expectation is put in your head and it isn't delivered upon, there is a slight disappointment no matter what comes in its place. Fast forward a few years, and we come to E3 2004. And this happened...
So, then this game was finally released after its own delay, due partly to becoming a Wii launch game, and it's fair to say I'd been waiting a long time by then. But it was totally worth the wait. I love everything about this game. I could quite happily write an essay about it, but I think there are far more eloquent users here who will do the game greater justice than I if I'm right in assuming that the game will be on their lists also.
My personal highlight was the Cave of Ordeals. That thing was tough, but I came out the other side...
